A Huge Collab to Help Lahni (Queen Wild Scraps) and her family

If any of you were following the story about (QueenWild) Lahni's husband John when he was electrocuted on the job last month you will already know this story.  For those of you that haven't heard here is the story.

On Wednesday October 23rd, John was working in Banff. He was up in the bucket, working with streat lights and received an electric shock. He was taken to the hospital via STARS air ambulance. He was put into a medically induced coma for 24 hours as he had been without oxygen for 5-15 minutes and the hypothermic state was to help minimize the possible brain damage.  He is expected to make a full recovery and is out of the hospital and back home with his family at this time.

We came together as designers here and from some other stores to show our support for Lahni and John by making this kit to help raise some money for their lodging and food while John was in the hospital and to help with donations to STARS - the air ambulance that most probably saved John's life.

Join with us to purchase this beautiful kit "Stand By Me" to help raise funds for the family and STARS.

A Passion for Piecing by Scraps N Pieces

Lori wanted to go with the bright and bold, modern colors of quilting and Heidi wanted to go with the faded old colors like quilts that have been handed down for generations. So the Scraps N Pieces team started working on both color palettes and ended up liking each of them, so they ended up with two kits containing all the same items in two different color schemes. They are both 1/2 off this week at  Scraps N Pieces store and at My Memories store.  Grab both while you can get two for the price of one kit!  You can't go wrong with either one.  Some of the papers are hand pieced and quilted and most of the others have fabric textures.  You are going to love them!  Oh, and if you like to sew, these will work great for you too!

Just Bee by Scraps N Pieces

Scraps N Pieces so loved the blog train colors from last month that after they made their giveaway part of damask papers, they just couldn't stop.  This full kit is so fun!  It has some cute little animals and insects and the color palette is beautiful. It is available at Scraps N Pieces and My Memories.


We just loved the layouts from our CT with this kit.  Take a look and remember to pick up their freebies too.

Stef's Layout
Stef is new to Scraps N Pieces CT and we are super excited to have her talents here on the SNP team.  She is an awesome layout artist and is even better at journaling!


I am a wife, mom to our 4 year-old son and nurse.  I live in Hamilton, Ontario. I enjoyed paper scrapbooking since my teens, but once I started working, I couldn't seem to find the time to keep up.  A friend introduced me to digi-scrapping a few years ago and I was hooked.  I love that there is no mess or clean up and no printing and cutting up of photos. I scrap to preserve memories and I love journalling on my pages.  I am always looking for new creative ways to document our life through journalling!  I am excited to join the Scraps-N-Pieces' CT.  They have been one of my favourite designers since I started digital scrapping and I am looking forward to working with them!

We also want to welcome Robyn as a new CT member.  Some of us got to meet her in real life at our retreat and she is super fun!  Excited to have her on our CT.  Here is a little more about her.

I'm married to the most handsome man in existence. I have 4 not at all quiet, but certainly amazing children, two of which I homeschool. I am continually busy, which I usually love- babysitting, photography, and other odd jobs. I live in Tooele, UT and have been digiscrapping for 6 years!
